  • Bob Bing Craig on Reconnecting With Who He Really Is, Surrendering To What Feels Good, & Remembering That Writing The First Line Will Eventually Turn Into The Whole Book.

    Bob Bing Craig is a writer, comedian, actor, and teacher who loves to educate, entertain, and inspire others through his various artistic expressions and adventurous endeavors.

    His professional writing career began as a lifestyle reporter and theater critic for several local and regional newspapers and he served as the editor of Midwest Real Estate News magazine. His work has been seen in the Chicago Tribune and Indiana University Alumni Magazine among others.

    Bob studied improvisational comedy in Chicago and Los Angeles at highly regarded institutions like The Second City, iO (formerly ImprovOlympic), and The Groundlings. He was the founding member of two different improv comedy groups and has taught improvisation to hundreds of people. He currently performs as a regular cast member at ImprovCity in Tustin, California and other venues around the Los Angeles area.

    His well-rounded approach to life can be attributed to his past work experiences that include - bicycle messenger, camp counselor, kennel cleaner, running coach, dishwasher, lifeguard, commercial real estate agent, background actor, wild goose chaser and having lived in several basements during his life. He's completed eight marathons and served in the US Navy, working on the flight deck of the USS ENTERPRISE (CVN-65).

    Bob was born in Chicago (Go Cubs!), grew up in Richmond, Indiana and graduated from Indiana University (Go Hoosiers!). He is the loving and supportive father of two fine young men, Jack and Robby, who will undoubtedly save the Earth from destruction someday.

    Although not a surfer (yet), he now resides in Seal Beach, California in a tiny apartment near the Pacific Ocean that he affectionately calls the Surf Shack. When he’s not writing or making people laugh, you can find him hunting for sea glass pieces on the beach.

  • Betsy Pacelli...And Her Very Brave Personal Narrative On Her Journey From Pain And Darkness To Healing And Light.

    Hello, I’m Betsy. First, I am a new me. I am a wife of 33 years and 12 years dating. I am a MOM to my baby girl, who recently got married. I am a friend. I love to TALK! I love to spread my knowledge to everyone. I am proud I have learned so much through all my TEARS.

    One day I was a happy girl, doing what I loved, worked for doctors doing medical billing, exercising, laughing, smiling, and loving!

    The next my life drastically changed. The happy, loving, CONFIDENT woman I was becoming somehow over the years LEFT- leaving a little girl who lost her brother, 18, at 21 to Mental Illness. And lost my mom, 42, at 23- also to Mental Illness. My dad passed away from an aggressive MS.

    I went to three different High Schools, which taught me to be outgoing and I can go somewhere by myself and have fun! I also love MUSIC.

    I started to have back pain, and my whole body was in pain. My nervous system wasn’t working. The switch in my brain stayed on 24/7.

    I was caught in a web of pain and failed surgeries, medicine that poisoned my body, and Depression was at its worst.

    So 30 years of struggling, researching, seeing doctors, crying, and praying this would go away, I never gave up hope that one day I would be the real me again.

    2 years ago, I made the mental decision to get off the poison I was putting in my body. And be aware and focused. I found a pain therapist who was a Godsend in my life—someone who can relate to me and my issues and tell me I’m not a burden. I am smart. I am ENOUGH!

    And then God sent me Gina Bell and Tears & Tulle.

    This was way out of my box, and the more I got to know her, the more I saw what she was doing. How creative and colorful everything was. Positive in every way and that Rainbow Tulle Skirt! I was amazed!

    I started to see change in me, along with the most important people, my husband and daughter. And then my family and friends could see how much stronger I was. HOW CONFIDENT I’VE BECOME.

    That was over a year ago. Tears & Tulle had become a very safe and happy place for me. It is a very powerful movement that has changed my outlook on everything.

    I’m so grateful I learned how to find my colors once again. I show up for life every day with a smile on my face! As I walk past MY skirt and its colors, I realize how blessed I am and how the real me has been hiding for so long.

    I want people to know the OTHER side of all my pain.

  • Kealah Parkinson Speaks On The Inner Working Of Our Brains, What It Means For Communication Coaching, & Breaking Fight/Flight Into Moving Parts

    With 30 years of experience in the communications industry—15 in private practice as a regionally-based (now global) coach in the Greater Chicago Area andNorthwest Indiana—Coach Kiki helps you be your authentic self and SPEAK YOUR TRUTH.  After a journalism education from Ball State University and work as a freelance and magazine writer, Kealah (KEY-la) Parkinson moved into creative production and speech writing for Fortune 500 companies, like Abbott Laboratories, AstraZeneca, Cisco Systems and more, and founded her own company, KiKi Productions, Inc.

    Today, as Coach Kiki, she guides sales professionals, small business owners and non-profit coordinators, teaching valuable skills that improve their bottom lines in the work world and enhance their personal lives. Through Coach Kiki & Kiddos, newly launched in 2022, she is expanding her aid to entrepreneuring families, helping every member of the household to SPEAK TRUTH WITH LOVE—particularly through her weekly newsletter, We Build Better Humans, that distills dozens of other social-emotional learning (SEL) subscription content in bite-sized reads for busy parents and educators. It is available for free—with paid bonus content—at BuildBetterHumans.Substack.com.

    Using her proprietary system, The 3 Keys to Communication©, and practical tools like The BMT IndexTM, she coaches individuals, teams and family units to cycle out of fight-or-flight in the moment. Coaching philosophy: When you are confident, focused and authentic with your message, you are a magnet to those you wish to attract. You can learn more about these mindfulness-based tools and philosophy in her blog, in online and in-print articles, and on the Valparaiso-based community radio show and podcast, Tune In: Radio for Your Mind, Body & Soul (WVLP.org).
